It was in 1938 that Ferdinand Porsche and his team finalized the design of the Beetle. The requirement was for a 'people's car' that was cheap, simple, and could be mass-produced for Germany's new road network. The production of beetles took off during the late '40s, and a decade later, one million Beetles had been sold. Since then, the VW Beetle has become an icon in automotive history due to its unique appearance. This remarkable 1960 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible is located in California and has the distinction of being featured on VW Trends Magazine's cover in 2001.
This Beetle has undergone a full frame-off restoration and is now in a distinctive Yukon Yellow. The car sports its classic chrome front bumper, with silver trimming around the headlights, hood, alongside the body continuing to the rear with a matching bumper and twin exhaust. The look is completed with a set of chrome VW hubcaps framed in whitewall tires, incase the Beetle wasn't already retro enough. The interior complements the entire look perfectly. The Yukon Yellow paint stretching across the dashboard is complemented beautifully with white accents on its fully functional radio, immaculate steering wheel, and gear knob. The front and rear seats come in green and white leather trim, with the same application to the door panels and beige seatbelts to match the soft-top convertible roof.
This version comes with a fully rebuilt original 1.2l air-cooled boxer engine with a power output of 36 bhp accessible via a 4-speed manual transmission. Some extras include a new clutch, brand new brakes as well as a new shifter.

The Volkswagen Kombi, Transporter, Camper, Microbus or T2 is a well-known light commercial vehicle. Introduced in 1949, it used the Beetle’s powertrain, but installed it within a larger and longer body that could be had in many styles. These included panel vans, pickup trucks, passenger microbuses, ice cream vans, and campers. In the Sixties, the model really took off, with the movement of peace and love. Many microbuses were converted into campers, and many more continue to receive this treatment even in the current era. However, if you want to buy a VW Kombi that’s already received the conversion, check out this 1995 Volkswagen EuroVan Camper that we’re selling with only 45,500 miles on the clock. Having undergone a full restoration, the vehicle comes with a comfortable and practical interior, two keys, and infinite amounts of charm and nostalgia.
The Volkswagen Beetle started life as a people’s car and has since become beloved by virtually all walks of life. Whether it’s an early "split window" in pristine condition or a radically modified rat rod, there are many dedicated devotees that come with an appreciation of the Bug’s way of life. One of the advantages of the VW Beetle platform is that it was available in a variety of body styles. In addition to the traditional sedan, there have been many different versions that share its underpinnings, including Variant models, wagons, and this: one of the last years that a convertible was offered from the factory. This 1978 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible is offered for sale with a 1.6-liter engine and 97,000 miles reported on the odometer.
